(ota / with a locked starter)
CHARACTERS: Steve Trevor, Diana Prince, & an open prompt
LOCATIONS: Golden Park (and the gun range)
WARNINGS: None yet
SUMMARY: Exercise and also a dog, and a very Steve-and-Diana date
Golden Park - ota
Steve has slowly been settling in to life here, in the months since his arrival, and somehow without him noticing or thinking about it too much, that life has turned out decidedly domestic. It's not that he minds his new domestic life; he just didn't think it was something he wanted. Being here he gets to leave the horrors of the war behind for awhile, and he gets all the time with Diana that he wants. So maybe what makes the difference isn't that he didn't want a domestic life. It was that he hadn't met anyone he wanted that kind of life with, until Diana.
He hadn't been here that long, really, when his look had been shook up again by the addition of a four-legged, furry member of the household. Having the almost-fully-grown dog around is a good excuse to get some activity, though, and he has made a habit of regularly taking Apollo to the park and getting both of them some exercise.
Sometimes it's Apollo getting some exercise chasing a Frisbee. Sometimes it's Steve getting some exercise chasing Apollo. Whatever. It works for them.
Apollo, still being a puppy (albeit at this point a rather large one), is still easily distracted, and it doesn't take much for him to decide that he wants to meet that person over there, and he'll come bounding over to someone, Frisbee dangling from his mouth, tail wagging. Which leads to Steve running after him again. "Apollo!" he scolds, but not too terribly, since he didn't have to chase very far, after all. "He's friendly," he assures the dog's would-be target. "He just likes to play."
Gun Range – for Diana
It's perhaps a quirk of their relationship that Steve not only suggested a visit to the gun range as a date, but that Diana agreed. Or maybe it's just why they work so well together. Theirs is a relationship forged by war, after all. Not fighting for the sake of fighting, but because it's something that must be done, in order to protect those who can't fight for themselves. Sacrifice of one for the good of the many.
Plus, while there are a lot of things about this modern life that Steve has learned by now, the only weaponry he's familiar with is a century old. He hopes that marksmanship is a skill he never needs to use here, but it's something he should maintain anyway, just in case. And anyway, he's curious how much that has changed in the last century. He's read some about the wars in the years since the one he fought in, but what are those weapons like? It's something he wants to experience for himself. And he just likes time with Diana.
He's waiting for her there after work one day, glancing over the options available, trying to decide where to start.

"Are we ready to try again?"

"I'm always ready, when it comes to you," Diana says, eyes gleaming as she issues a challenge. "So, lets try to hit these targets and then move on to something else for the rest of the evening? Sound like a plan?"
